Just Read the Book

Don't let your preconceived notions about what is possible and what is not possible prevent you from reading this book. It is objective and reasonable and quite possibly the best book on the subject I have read. Keep an open mind and understand the scientists who wrote this book just want a chance for a scientific study of the evidence, but the current climate at NASA is denying them the opportunity. How many other marvelous discoveries have been lost to us because of other people's closed minds? Why is it so impossible for people to believe there may have been an ancient civilization on Mars? We have them on Earth! They came from somewhere! Let them have their objective investigation, but don't close the door on the means to find out the truth, one way or the other. If the truth is stifled then we all loose out on what may be the most profound discovery of human history. We need to know one way or the other!

Sober and provocative cosmic wake-up call

"The Case for the Face" is a thoroughly sensible and compelling account of a small handful of resarchers with the intellectual clout to tackle an enigma mainstream science has labled "off-limits": the possible existence of alien artifacts in our solar system. The contributors raise fascinating possibilities that we would be wise to examine in depth. Validating the existence of probable artificial structures on Mars is an opportunity we can't afford to miss through fear of offending the status quo.

This is a must read for every astronomer .

The remarkable and revealing story of a group of dedicated scientists and engineers. Their testimony, details one of the most exciting and dramatic ongoing investigations of the 20th century. The compelling evidence for ancient alien ruins on Mars.

Well marshalled science on a controversial subject

With Jet Propulsion Laboratory's release of images last April, it was easy to conclude that the quest had ended to decide if the famous Mars "face" was artificial. Not so.The latest analysis indicates that the face is about 92-97% symmetrical and that it shows signs of recent water-based erosion. Analysis of two nearby craters shows likely lakes of frozen water on their floors.So there is still a mystery, and this book offers a clear, powerful, readable, scientifically accurate analysis of many facets of the ongoing investigation. The writers do a lovely job of covering the history, methodology, speculations and implications of this marvelous enigma on the shores of an ancient Martian ocean.I liked the book and think you will, too.

Best book so far

Obviously, >The case for the Face< is the best book on the market so far regarding this topic. The editor and the authors have made the correct attempt to solve the problem: the scientific one. Though it seems to me - on the data basis of the Mars Global Surveyor - that the >face< is simply natural in orgin, there remains a small probability of artificial influences. This book gives excellent indications how to handle the problem. Dr. Johannes Fiebag, Geologist, Germany
